Chapter 53: Epiphany

(I wrote it yesterday and forgot to update it!! kneel down and apologize!!)

On the tenth day of the first month, Mount Emei.

Carrying a bookcase and climbing up the mountain road of nearly 10,000 steps, even for Zhao Wu'an, who is in the first-class realm, is tired enough.

After tossing and running to Jinguan City, and then turning towards this road to Mount Emei, just to get rid of those eyeliners who may not care about him at all, even Zhao Wuan himself was a little skeptical about whether it was worth it.

Dailou Sangyu didn't have these troublesome thoughts. For her, walking is walking, the same as eating and sleeping, anyway, she follows Zhao Wu'an, and she doesn't have to find her own way.

Zhao Wu'an had been suspicious since ten years ago, and she didn't even know that she was looking for someone to sell this girl, and she would stupidly get rid of the seller and run back to him.

But after all, it is impossible for Zhao Wu'an to sell Sang Yu to anyone, it is a small matter to lose a girl, if she is in a bad mood and poisons herself, it will be a big trouble.

Just after the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is still in the first month, and there are still not a few people who go up the mountain to worship the Buddha and ask for incense. Zhao Wu'an and Dailou Sangyu mingled in the crowd, and they were not conspicuous.

When he was about to climb the mountain, Zhao Wu'an straightened his clothes, his expression was solemn, and he put his palms together and said: "Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty, Amitabha." ”

Dailou Sangyu looked at him with wide eyes.

Shu Ten Wishes Monk.

Ten of them, in recent years, have been distributed in various parts of Shuzhong, and their footprints are difficult to find. There are also like the Buddhist monks that Zhao Wu'an and Duan Taoli met in front of the ruins of Jiuda Temple, and the distant monks who measure the Buddhist temples in the world with their feet are even more difficult to meet in this Shu.

However, when the Quartet goes out on patrol, someone must sit in the atrium. Mount Emei is the place where Buddhism is carried forward in Shu, and the Golden Dome of Ten Thousand Buddhas is also famous.

As the Ten Wish Monks who are also responsible for the inheritance of Buddhism in Shudi, it is impossible for no one to sit in Emei.

After listening to him tell the reason for traveling to Mount Emei, Dailou Sangyu's face was full of confusion. "You're here to find the monks, but what if the ten aren't there?"

"Someone must be there. Zhao Wuan smiled, "The reason why I waited in Jinguan City for Chinese New Year's Eve was to make sure that there were people here. ”

"You're in the city, how do you know that someone is there in Emei?" Dai Lou Sangyu was puzzled.

Zhao Wu'an said meaningfully: "I entrusted a friend. ”

can make Zhao Wu'an call a friend, and he can count it on one hand within the four seas. Dailou Sangyu bit his lip and thought for a long time, and he didn't know who he was talking about.

The Emei Golden Dome is as high as 1,000 zhang, and it is a person with excellent physical strength, and it is extremely difficult to climb to the top in one day.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them reached the Fuhu Temple halfway up the mountain, they were stopped.

In the way was a young novice of less than twenty, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his palms folded.

He smiled lightly and said: "It's just that it's a monk with a back box, and he deliberately emphasized that he was dressed in white, and the little monk almost missed it." ”

"Then now that I've changed to a black one, how did you recognize it?" Zhao Wu'an said.

"It's inevitable to change clothes, and you can't count them, but fortunately, the little monk still has the ability to remember people's faces. Xiao Shami smiled heartily, let go of the road behind him, and spread out one palm, "Zhao Jushi, please come here." ”

Under the guidance of the little novice, through the hundreds of acres of towering ancient trees, walking across the tiger bath bridge with a thousand-foot deep stream on both sides, a Buddha hall appeared in front of him.

The body of the temple is built on a towering foothill, the rock direction is like a fierce tiger ambushing, surrounded by dense forests, and there are no idlers.

Xiao Shami stopped in front of the hall, bowed with low eyebrows, and said, "This is it." ”

Zhao Wu'an clasped his palms together and respectfully returned the salute: "Thank you for leading the way." ”

The little novice smiled, "It's okay. Several abbots are waiting in the temple, and the donor can go straight inside. Such a big battle, the little monk has not seen it when he enters the temple. ”

Surprised, Zhao Wuan sighed: "I'm ashamed." ”

Waving goodbye to the little novice who led the way, the two took off their shoes in front of the temple and entered on foot.

The atmosphere in the hall was calm and serene. In front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, three sticks of incense are burned, and seven futons are spread out in an arc, and there is no one except for the seven monks who meditate with their eyes closed.

Zhao Wu'an clasped his palms together at the door of the hall, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and said respectfully: "Under Zhao Wu'an, I have seen all the seniors. ”

Dailou Sangyu also did the same: "Sangyu has seen all the predecessors. ”

The seven monks opened their eyes at the same time. The one in the center said lightly: "No need to be formal. Although the door is empty, you will wait and sit down. ”

But hearing the sound of the Buddha echoing, although the sound is not loud, it has its own Zen.

The two of them picked a futon according to their words, Zhao Wu'an sat down cross-legged, and Dailou Sangyu sat on his knees.

Zhao Wu'an took the lead and said frankly: "You seniors can take the time to wait for the juniors here, and I am grateful. ”

The second monk on the right smiled and said, "You junior, the etiquette is very thoughtful, but it's a pity that we don't eat this set." ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, then scratched his head, and smiled helplessly.

Seven of the ten vows sat in front of him with solemn expressions.

The monk in the middle said: "Among the ten of us, the Buddha temple is still traveling far away in the Central Plains, and it is too late to return; I don't want to see you; Senior Brother Ankang is on the Peerless Heavenly Stone, and his practice is not yet complete, so he has no time to come and see you." I am the second disciple without illness, and you already know it. ”

Zhao Wu'an said with a calm expression: "It is a great blessing to have seven seniors who do not hesitate to teach, and it is understandable that the seniors do not want to see me. ”

Shudi Ten Wishes Monk, as the name suggests, naturally has ten wishes.

One wishes for the health of the mountains and rivers, two wishes for no disease in the world, three wishes for a bumper harvest of grains, four wishes for peace in the world, five wishes for incense to always be there, six wishes for eight hundred Buddha temples, seven wishes for 100,000 scriptures, eight wishes for all beings to worship the Buddha, nine wishes for not suffering in the past life, and ten wishes for my Buddha to be merciful.

Sitting in front of Zhao Wu'an now are seven of them, the monk without disease, the harvest monk, the Taiping monk, the permanent monk, the scripture monk, the Buddhist monk and the compassionate monk.

The remaining two of them were absent for some reason, and Zhao Wu'an was not surprised at all. If he hadn't intervened in White Horse Town, Zhao Wu'an would have killed the two envoys of the Black Cloud Society earlier, and although he would not have faced each other with swords since then, he could be regarded as a bond.

Dailou Sangyu looked curiously at the monks whose seven postures and postures were carved out of a mold, and only heard Zhao Wu'an say over there:

"I want to come to the previous friend, and I have already said it thoroughly. Since the Ten Wishes Monk of Shu Di intervened in this re-election of the leader of the alliance in a completely neutral capacity, he should be able to prevent any bloody clashes and swords from meeting each other. In the light of the matter, the stakes are so high that it even outweighs the re-election of the leader of the alliance itself. ”

The disease-free monk replied lightly: "Naturally. We have gathered here because of your invitation, and after today, we will naturally rush back to Jinguan City to adjudicate affairs and ensure fairness. ”

"Thank you, seniors. Zhao Wu'an kowtowed.

Chang Zai Monk pursed his lips: "Is there something else?"

"Indeed......," Zhao Wu'an said with difficulty, "There are two more things to ask for a few seniors before this trip." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Yes. Zhao Wu'an straightened up, took a deep breath, and bowed his head seriously, closing his eyes.

"I hope that the seven seniors can teach me the method of epiphany. ”

The seven people were all stunned, and the back looked at each other, not knowing why.

"Epiphany and epiphany, since it was a sudden pause, and then it was enlightened, what can be taught?"

The Taiping monk also nodded and said: "Although we regard this principle as a guideline, how to deal with it depends on the individual, this is not an overnight thing, and there is no legal principle that can be taught to you." ”

Such words, Zhao Wu'an did not expect it.

But he just tilted his head lower and pursed his lips.

"I hope that the seven seniors will not hesitate to teach. ”

The seven looked at each other. This time, no one spoke again.

Dailou Sangyu puffed out his cheeks and looked at Zhao Wu'an who was lying on the ground.

"Without self-knowledge, the principle of righteousness in the world, the people in Buddhism have heard a lot, and they can't move the seven predecessors. ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Wuan still lay his head on the ground and continued.

"But I have other wishes.

"The wishes of the ten predecessors are that the mountains and rivers are peaceful, the Buddha's teachings spread all over the world, and the world is the Buddha. In contrast, my wish was so simple that it wasn't even worth mentioning.

"I once had a revered predecessor, who was righteous and awe-inspiring, righteous and ambitious, and had the ambition of dedicating his family and country to the common people in the world. I looked up to him as a role model for his life, but he has since changed. With one hand covering the sky and being heinous, his name is between these two dynasties, and even can stop children from crying at night.

"I don't want him to continue to be wrong, I want to stop him from moving forward, but I also know that I can't fight against him on my own. ”

Zhao Wu'an clasped his head on the cold green brick and said firmly: "Please seniors, give me an epiphany." ”

The seven were silent for a long time.

After a while, the monk said quietly: "If this is the case, then the epiphany can still be as you wish." Let go of obsessions, and if there are thousands of knots in your heart, you will be relieved for a while. ”

Zhao Wuan shook his head: "It's not such an epiphany. ”

The monk was stunned.

"The younger generation has a foolish heart and will never regret it. Zhao Wu'an said word by word, "If that's the case, can you have an epiphany?"

There was a long silence. The monk of compassion closed his eyes and recited the Buddhist scriptures.

The harvest monk suddenly said: "There is indeed one." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the unanimous cold eyes of the other six.

The harvest monk smiled bitterly: "It's been two generations apart, and now a child has come to us, and he has begged like this, do you still want to hide it?"

The monk said solemnly: "After all, it is a secret that is not transmitted, and I have been preaching Buddha in the Central Plains so far, and I have not been able to explain this matter clearly." ”

"That's it...... I had guessed that he would mention it, and we didn't have much else. Chang Zai Seng shook his head, "Even according to what the masters and masters said, it's time to pay it back." ”

The monk was silent for a long time, and his palms were folded.

"Amitabha. ”

Zhao Wu'an thanked one after another: "Thank you seniors!"

The monk said: "This is a return to your friend's favor." Without his grandfather, there is no monk with the Ten Vows today. This epiphany and the descendants of Na Luo Shen are the same source of water, remember this. ”

A complicated smile appeared on Zhao Wu'an's face. Half relieved, half bitter.

All the foreshadowing laid 70 years ago has been extended to this day, and it may really be fate.
